Acer offers PC with Blu-ray/HD DVD combo drive

0

Not exactly "new" news but Acer recently released a computer in your neck of the woods with a combo drive made by LG. Expect other computer makers to follow suit.

This is why the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD thing doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. It’s going to end up being the same situation as DVD-R vs. DVD+R back when recordable DVDs came out.

Instead of waiting around who-knows-how-long to declare a winner, hardware manufacturers will just start making combo drives knowing full well that many consumers will opt to future-proof their systems. Everyone’s a winner (except early adopters).

OverviewLG is a South Korean multinational company which includes LG Electronics. LG Englewood Cliffs is a new building initiative that protects the palisades and creates homes for the growing U.S. workforce.
